The Columnist’s John Lithgow Dishes on Missing Woodstock and Plays Charades on Late Night

About the Show

John Lithgow may call himself the “the least cool member” of his generation, but having just nabbed his sixth Tony nomination for The Columnist, it appears he's doing just fine. On May 21, Lithgow dropped by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to chat about his early days as an actor, including his decision to skip Woodstock and instead study Shakespeare. The two-time Tony Award winner also joked about his "Irish curls" for Fallon's “Perm Week” and ended the trip with a hilarious game of Charades versus iCarly's Miranda Cosgrove.
